What EE (Dryer Control Board Memory Fault) Means
EE indicates a problem with the main control board's EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), per LG's dedicated blinking-LED error-code article - the chip that stores the board's settings and programming.
Common Causes of EE (Dryer Control Board Memory Fault)
- Temporary EEPROM read/write glitch
- Main control board EEPROM chip has failed
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Unplug the dryer for 10 minutes, then restore power and try a cycle; this clears a temporary memory-read glitch if that's what caused it.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- If a 10-minute power-down doesn't clear EE, LG's own guidance says you may need to replace the main control board - that's a technician-level board replacement, not a component an owner should attempt to source and install without the right part number for your exact model.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
